Upgraded the RAM and added an OCZ SSD this past week. It's a rocket now 🙂
 
Probably a stupid question, but why are some of you guys blocking out your computer's serial number? Is it possible for someone to use it maliciously? 😕

For privacy.

Yes. It was possible to get a copy of Snow Leopard for a very low price, just with a hardware serial number (contains the manufacturing date of a Mac) via Apples Hardware-Up-To-Date program. iLife 09 too, IIRC. Apple changed it for Lion, but i'm sure you can still do many "funny" things, just with a Mac hardware serial number.
 
I thought it would be fun to make my Apple green. Life needs a little color sometimes.

At first, I made it red, but then I thought, "Hey, I like green apples better, really."

I sort of expected someone to show up here with a pink one, since pink is always the new black and all that. 😛

I also edited my login screen Apple the exact same green, but I didn't bother to take a screenshot of it, since it's exactly the same.
